Cecilia Braekhus will be looking to reclaim the five world titles she lost in a shock defeat by Jessica McCaskill in August of last year when the two meet in a rematch in Dallas, Texas on Saturday night as her battle for equality in boxing goes on.
The 39-year-old hinted at retirement in the aftermath of that welterweight loss. But several months spent running at home in Norway and a seven-week camp in the U.S. have teed her up to re-conquer a sport she has dominated since turning pro in 2007."I feel great, this is a completely different situation, I've had a normal camp and I haven't had all these other things going on.
"It was a very special situation, I was stuck in training camp when the pandemic broke out, so I hadn't seen my friends and family for about six months. Around that time I was just concerned about getting back to see them and get home and be with my people," Braekhus recalled. "Promotion is the key. It needs to be a good opponent, and good marketing and promotion behind it," she said."This is up to the promoters and TV.
